What to know about deadly McDonald's E. coli outbreak
The person who died was a resident of Mesa County, Colorado, in the western part of the state, according to the county health department. The true number of sick people in this outbreak is likely much higher than the number reported, because many people recover without medical care and are not tested for E. coli.McDonald's says either fresh, slivered onions or beef patties used for the Quarter Pounder may be behind the outbreak.
McDonald's told the CDC it has removed slivered onions and beef patties used for Quarter Pounder hamburgers from stores in the states where cases have been reported, the federal health agency said. As a result, the CDC said Quarter Pounders won't be available for sale in some states. During the two-week period in which cases were reported, from Sept. 27 to Oct. 11, the fast food chain sells about 1 million Quarter Pounders, making tracing the outbreak complicated, according to company spokespeople.
